Transforming Grief into Support with Eloise Bune


Listen Later

What does the word widow mean to you? This is a question today’s guest thinks we should all be asking because it could use a new definition. In this Financially Ever After Widowhood episode, Stacy Francis speaks with Eloise Bune D’Agostino, the founder of DayNew, a company and community to support people through life-changing events. They discuss the challenges and transformations of life after losing a spouse and how Eloise turned her grief into a powerful support network for others.

Key Takeaways:
  • The word widow has very dark and heavy connotations, but it should also represent strength, resilience and independence.
  • Eloise shares the story of how, after unexpectedly losing her husband, she connected with another new widow and created a tech company to help others navigate similar situations.
  • Support systems play a huge role in navigating grief. Grief groups can make a profound difference for people.
  • Losing a spouse means a lot of practical changes need to be made, even though taking action cab be incredibly difficult. Organizational aids can make it a little more manageable.
  • Explore how to keep the memory of loved ones alive through personal and family rituals and storytelling.
  • Everyone has their own grief journey, and there is no one single way to navigate it.
  • Get insights into creating a supportive community and accessing professional financial advice.
